Once again, Sandford has produced a masterful thriller, loaded with suspense even when he gives you the identity of the killer well before the end. Lucas Davenport is asked by his wife Weather to look into the disappearance her friend's daughter, who the police suspect is dead. Soon her Goth friends are killed one by one and Lucas himself is shot. The wily detective struggles to unravel an intricate tangle of suspects and motives, even as he assists his colleagues with a protracted surveillance in search of a dangerous drug dealer who had skipped bail. Sandford takes the reader on a convoluted roller coaster ride, leading one down a path and then managing to throw in an unexpected twist just when you think you have it figured out. The suspense culminates in the expected shootout and showdown that make his books so entertaining, and are no less satisfying for being a given.
